I have a request to fellow juice feasters, out of curiosity. Has your pulse dropped during this feast? Mine is usually round 58-60 range and had dropped to 40! I have checked, double and triple checked this and I can't quite believe it but thats the case. If anyone has some information regarding this I would be very interested to know more.
Following Shell's link, I have been inspired to dip into one of favorite books, Fukuoka's 'One Straw Revolution' - the most enriching and philosophical book on natural farming and living. I find that this link between juice feasting/fasting/raw foods and natural farming methods is very closely linked, through the respect for the way things are best kept simple. Learning to respect the amazing creation that is your body, with all her inherent wisdom expands your vision to the rest of the universe. We are too small to understand everything - knowledge and wisdom is hence so profound in nature that the best we can do is to observe, respect and give thanks for its presence. I also feel a greater connection to nature during this process, whether it be greater awareness of the seasonal shifts in time to a deeper experience of walking in the woods, parks or outdoors. I urge you to read Fukuoka if you have the chance.

Hi Poppy,
Just wanted to thank you for talking about the link between farming and the Raw/Living Foods Movement. This is exactly where this movement is headed once there are enough of us solid in the nutrition/dietary side of things.
Thank you for the link to The One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka. I have had this book for years, but am glad to see a .pdf version of it. It will go on JuiceFeasting.com for everyone now!
Your pulse dropping is normal, provided that you are drinking enough juice and are not underweight. If you are not drinking enough juice, or are below your ideal weight, email Katrina and myself for some guidance...
Congratulations on your Juice Feast!
With peaceful steps,
David and Katrina Rainoshek

Hi dear Poppy,
Thanks for the love!
Sounds like you are going strong - keep on blazing, firecracker!
Love,

Hey Poppy. You got me curious so I got out my stop watch and I'm a 50... I'm normally at 65-70.
Glad to hear David and Katrina have already alleviated any concerns you may have had.
It's so weird! :)

hi poppy,
have not read fukuoka but heard lots about it...will definitely look it up. Am happy to hear David & Katrina say that the Raw foods movement will be headed more towards the growing food aspect. Earth healing is so needed, and healing our relationship to the earth and the way she sustains us.
really enjoying your blog, lovely poppy. I am totally with you about school. i'm so glad i don't have to do that again. I sometimes struggle with my course tho, trying to do assignments on dry topics that do not interest me. I just spend all my time following my interests and going off on (extremely fascinating) tangents! Ah well...
lots of lovexxxxx
